Insurance Services
for Financial Institutions in Springfield, MO
TEJ Agency supports banks and credit unions throughout Springfield and Southwest Missouri with insurance programs designed to protect loan portfolios, reduce risk, and simplify servicing. As a national MGA with more than 50 years of experience, we specialize in insurance tracking, lender-placed coverage, blanket policies, and servicing protection. Whether you serve residential borrowers in Greene County or small businesses in the Ozarks, our tailored programs help financial institutions in the Springfield metro operate more confidently and efficiently.
Insurance Programs Tailored to Lenders Across the Ozarks
We serve financial institutions of all sizes throughout the Springfield region, offering scalable and compliant risk management solutions.
Our team tracks borrower insurance across real estate, auto, and equipment loans. We handle policy verification, lapse detection, borrower notices, and documentation—freeing Springfield lenders to focus on lending, not insurance paperwork.
When borrower insurance lapses or doesn’t meet your institution’s standards, we activate on-demand coverage for hazard, flood, REO, or titled collateral. Our lender-placed solutions help ensure uninterrupted protection and regulatory compliance.
For lenders that prefer not to track individual policies, our blanket mortgage, auto, and equipment programs offer portfolio-wide coverage. These solutions are ideal for community institutions serving both urban and rural borrowers across Springfield and Southwest Missouri.
Mistakes happen, but they don’t have to become liabilities. TEJ’s E&O protection shields your institution from losses tied to servicing errors, such as missed notices or incorrect escrow handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is insurance tracking necessary for smaller banks and credit unions in Southwest Missouri?
Yes, and in many cases it’s even more valuable for smaller institutions. When internal staffing is limited, tracking borrower insurance manually can be risky and inefficient. TEJ handles the entire process—from collecting and reviewing borrower policies to sending compliant notices—so your team can focus on what matters. Even credit unions or banks with a few hundred loans benefit from outsourced tracking that ensures no policy lapse slips through the cracks.
How does TEJ support compliance with Missouri lending laws?
Our services are built to align with Missouri’s regulatory landscape, including requirements set by the Missouri Division of Finance and Department of Commerce and Insurance. We help lenders adhere to federal rules as well, including CFPB servicing timelines and NFIP flood standards. If your institution is preparing for an audit or needs help responding to examiner findings, we provide detailed reporting and support every step of the way.
Can blanket insurance work for rural borrowers in the Springfield area?
Absolutely. Blanket mortgage and blanket auto coverage are especially useful for lenders with borrowers spread across rural counties like Christian, Webster, or Lawrence. Instead of tracking policies from multiple regional agents, you can protect your portfolio with one seamless policy. This allows you to expand your lending reach without increasing administrative strain.
What types of lender-placed coverage do you offer for real estate and vehicles?
We offer lender-placed hazard, flood, windstorm, and fire insurance for properties, as well as collateral protection insurance (CPI) for titled autos and equipment. If a borrower’s coverage lapses, we activate the appropriate policy immediately to maintain your institution’s protection. Our placement process includes full documentation, cancellation tracking, and compliance support—so your team isn’t left scrambling when issues arise.
How do we get started if we’re based in Springfield, MO?
It starts with a quick call. We’ll learn about your lending model, internal workflows, and risk preferences.

Our onboarding is simple, our team is responsive, and our solutions are designed to grow with your institution.
